The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

Chapter 38

38 Aurora’s pov) Every second he stares down at me, I heard the ticking of a clock in my head. His stare was burning, like fire that threatened to consume my entire being. I never felt such a way or have someone ever looked at me in desire like this. This was new to me but felt so impossibly good and thrilling. “Aurora,” My name tumbles out of his mouth in a slow hoarseness that had my tummy tightening “Yes alpha Xavier?” I peeked at him beneath my lashes, remembering how the she wolves would act when they were trying to seduce the male wolves. His stare almost burns me alive as they fired up with hunger so strong that my knees felt jello. I could’ve collapsed there and then just by how weak they became, plastering to the floor. “Why are you on your knees?” He grumbles, eyes falling to my knees. I blushed under the weight of his stare. “Don’t you want me on my knees Alpha?” His jaw ticked, his eyes swirl more with heat and he grunts. “Get up Aurora,” With wobbly legs, I rose to my feet, my face flaming as his eyes burn a trail up my legs, between my thighs, stayed there for a while then resumed up to fix on my bare breasts. I knew I wasn’t as voluptuous as the she wolves but I suspected I aroused him too. Especially with the way his gaze penetrates me. It was like he was imagining something else, something more demanding to penetrate me. I stay frozen when he suddenly takes a step forward, then another until five more steps got him before me. I crane my neck, my eyes connecting with his. He’s an alpha, he’ll want his mate strong, not a stuttering blabbering fool. Not like how I’d been when I first came here….. “What’s the matter?” Suddenly I’m snapped out of my thoughts and now peering into the concerned eyes of Xavier’s. The emotion shook me to the core. I found myself wanting to share my burden with him, tell him the truth, tell him that I came from his enemy pack, tell him how they treated me, tell him everything. But I couldn’t. I feared he’d not look at me again with burning desire. He would probably think I was some traitor,

someone sent by Raphael to spy on him. My mind was conflicted and I was sure he could sense it. “What’s the matter Aurora?” He whispers, eyes drowning with the look of worry so deeply that my head ached. I flinched slightly when he surprised me by cupping my face and looked at me deeply with concern. I drew in a staggering breath not expecting such warmth, such tender action from him. I expected him to punish me for finding me in the library with his sister, not cup my face softly as if he was afraid I’d break any second with more pressure.

His actions just confirmed that I was truly his mate. My heart sang, but my mind grew conflicted. I was keeping a huge secret from him. What would happen if I told him? I stared at him, fighting a battle within myself and he notices by pulling my body closer to his. A breath whips out of my lungs when my body press to his deliciously. Tingles. Fire. We were mates. “Tell me what has you so Aurora. I’ll fix it,” There’s a promise in his tone, one that stunned m e speechless. He was angry with me in the library, but since then, something…changed. Fix it? How can he fix my turmoil when it run deeper than just me being confused about us About him? The red had left his amber eyes, which made my stomach twisted. I always preferred his amber than the intimidating red. I opened my mouth to speak, the truth at the tip of my tongue but what rushes out, isn’t what my mind wanted to say.” Aren’t you going to punish me?” I whispered. Xavier’s features carved into one of surprise before he mask it quickly and ground out.” Since when do you willingly submit for punishment Aurora? The last time you were frightened! Now you’re naked before I even told you to strip out of your clothes,” He steps away from me, his warmth going along with him and I instantly regret opening my mouth. His

tone was mixed with confusion but not accusation. Shaking his head, he clenches his eyes shut for a few moments then opens them. They’re backt o red.”I came here with the intention of punishing you for leaving the room.” My skin tingled by his admission. It was like I enjoyed his punishment. Which very may well b e true, “But seeing you so willingly submit to it without me demanding you, really looked as if you want this. You want me to punish you. Which makes me wonder…..why?” There’s a growl at the end of his words, one that froze my being. I should’ve known he would be suspicious. He wasn’t the most feared alpha for nothing. The man was smart and was sure to calculate everything with a keen eye. But before I could answer him, his eyes turn foggy which made it known he was being mind linked. If I thought his eyes were red before then now they were the darkest of crimson. His canines jut out from his gums and he snarls. “Get dressed, stay here and don’t come out. Do you understand me Aurora?!” He roared, his beast was furious and very preseni. I backed away a little, nodding quickly. “Yes alpha.” I knew his anger wasn’t directed at me but still, the sight of his untamed beast was quite frankly terrifying Whoever has mind linked him with whatever news, clearly brought out the beast in him. He growls, storming out of the room with the speed of a true beast. I trembled as I raced to get clothed. My fingers shook as I finally throw the shirt over my head. I could hear the shouts outside, the angry hysterical yells that thrust terror into my being. I quickly run towards the window, my eyes falling on the mass of wolves surrounding Xavier and Eli. But what had the blood draining from my face was the girl in Eli’s arms. Her skin looked ghostly white from here and she looked practically dead The wolves around was making a huge fuss and Xavier had to forcefully push them away as they try to get a better glimpse of the girl. I sucked in some air, when his head suddenly lifts and his eyes connected with mine. I quickly push away from the window, my heart beating furiously. From the way the wolves

were acting, it was clear something was off with the girl. What could have possibly happened? : Xavier’s pov: ‘Alpha, something has happened. One of the patrolling wolves, a female, they found her dead b y the border. But something’s off. There’s a scent here that I haven’t smelled in years. Wolfsbane.’ Eli mind links me. Wolfsbane? I stiffen. The plant that was toxic for wolves. Didn’t the wolf council have every plant cut down and destroyed any remains of it? Then how the hell did one of my people manage to get themselves in this kind of mess? Unless…. Someone poisoned them with it. Reckon roars in my head, furious that someone may be trying to kill our people with wolfsbane. ‘Murder them. Kill them. Find the culprit and let’s bathe our hands in their blood!’ He roars. “Get dressed, stay here and don’t come out. Do you understand me Aurora?!” I roared, not able to stop the anger that twisted in my tone roughly. She nodded, her eyes swirling with fear. “Yes alpha.” I stormed out of the room, my canines emerging out of my gums as I found myself outside within seconds. I first spotted Eli then the girl in his arms. I recognize her as one of my warrior wolves. A girl who liked to put up a fight. How the hell did she find herself in such a predicament? I stormed my way to Eli, fighting off the crowd that has gathered around him. They were making it impossible to reach him. “Move!” I snarled, pushing some out of my way, They cowered, parting so I could make my way to Eli, When I do reach him, he looks at me with a face full of anxiety, “They found her like this Xavier. She wasn’t breathing inspected her a little and saw a small little wound on her neck Probably where they injected her with wolfsbane,”

Upon hearing the word wolfsbane, the wolves around started talking loudly, I gritted my teeth. Great. Just great, Some tried to come closer, pushing forward until their heat surrounded us like fire. I growled, pushing them away. I could feel the penetrating stare on my back and knew it was her I turn around, lifting my head to the window. Her eyes widen a little and she quickly moves away, Turning back to my anxious people I snarled, “Stay back!” I knew the mention of wolfsbane would have them anxious but they needed to get their shit together. We weren’t the strongest pack for nothing. “A little wolfsbane wouldn’t put us down. Now calm yourselves!” I roared, my nails jutting out. They were angering me and Reckon was growing furious, Turning to Eli, I spoke, “Get her to the infirmary so we can have a better look and see if we can get the culprit, And have the one who found her meet us there.” Eli quickly nods, pushing his way through the crowd and heads in the way to the infirmary, I scanned my eyes at the mass of anxious wolves, the scent of fear making me sick. We were the strongest wolves dammit! Wolfsbane will not put us down, “I promise you that we will find whoever is responsible for this. A silver blade to their heart will be more painful than what they have done to one of ours.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
